Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support Senators Brian Hayes, Dardis and Ormonde in their calls for a debate on the report on the Convention on the Future of Europe. There are many issues in the report of huge concern to small countries and it is timely that we should address them.

On the question of increasing prices, and rip-off Ireland was referred to again today, we are all concerned about the impact on competitiveness of fuel and service costs.
